More quotes by Mother Teresa

Image
Prayer is the mortar that holds our house together.
Mother Teresa
Image
Prayer is not asking. Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God, at His disposition, and listening to His voice in the depth of our hearts.
Mother Teresa
Image
It is impossible to love God without loving our neighbor.
Mother Teresa
Image
Nobody can change your religion unless you want to and God gives you the grace. It's between you and God alone. Nobody can force you.
Mother Teresa
Image
We do not need guns and bombs to bring peace, we need love and compassion.
Mother Teresa
Image
I see God in every human being. When I wash the leper's wounds I feel I am nursing the Lord himself. Is it not a beautiful experience?
Mother Teresa
Image
It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.
Mother Teresa
Image
If we were humble, nothing would change us-neither praise nor discouragement. If someone were to criticize us, we would not feel discouraged. If someone would praise us, we also would not feel proud.
Mother Teresa
Image
Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
Mother Teresa
Image
Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.
Mother Teresa
Image
If we can not love the person whom we see, how can we love God whom we can not see?
Mother Teresa
Image
I don't think we can do anything more than what we are doing now.
Mother Teresa
Image
At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless, and you took me in.
Mother Teresa
Image
We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, with so little, for so long, we are now qualified to do anything, with nothing.
Mother Teresa
Image
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Mother Teresa
Image
You who have received so much love, show your love by protecting the sacredness of life. The sacredness of life is the greatest gifts that God has given us.
Mother Teresa
Image
And if we can accept that a mother can kill her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?
Mother Teresa
Image
We are taught from the very first moment to discover Christ under the distressing disguixe of the poor, the sick, the outcasts. Christ presents Himself to us under every disguise: the dying, the paralytic, the leper, the invalid, the orphan.
Mother Teresa
Image
Joy is prayer joy is strength, joy is love. God loves a cheerful giver. The best way we can show our gratitude to God and the people is to accept everything with joy.
Mother Teresa
Image
It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start.
